The distrp«s atr.onjj Australian discharged soldiers waiting for return nassa^es js becoming acute. A number of the mori are on the verfe of F-.tn.rva.tinn. The Anzac Buffet Fund h unable more than to pive a small dole to many discharged men. who r>re avor«o +o charity in view of the fstef-. that they are entitled to a gratuity.

The Canadian authorities are copirifi; with a- somewhat similar situation. They are providing men who are awaiting shipment with board "'id lodgings and charging it against tho payments to which tho recipients aro entitled.

A. plan akin to this is needed to relieve the Australians.
